Taoyuan little fisherman

Chapter 20 The Old Village Chief's Wish
"Tianhui, are you at home?"

"Nonsense, I am a jobless vagrant who is not at home, where else can I go? Tell me what to do."

"A good news, a bad news, which one to listen to first?"

"What's wrong? You're also laid off?" Wang Tianhui joked.

"Go, I won't follow in your footsteps. You are a lonely family and a widow. How can I dare to drag my family?"

"Let's start with the bad news."

"Uh... I'd better say first, the game starts in the city tomorrow, and I'm the team leader. The leader said that if we can beat the Xinxing Town team this time, give me an advanced rating this quarter."

"What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that Xinxing Town is stronger than us. There are not many players in our town. Even the doorman Lao Fan has played. This old man is 50 this year, and the average height of our team is 10 centimeters shorter than others. Do you think I, an advanced individual, still have hope?"

Wang Tianhui smiled, "You kid, are you betting all your treasures on me?"

"That's necessary! To tell you the truth, our Longyang Town loses to Xinxing Town every year, and the leader is getting angry. If we didn't watch the video of you playing, we don't plan to embarrass ourselves this year."

"That means your future is in my hands?"

"It is necessary, Tianhui, as long as you play at the level that day, it shouldn't be a big problem to win Xinxing Town."

"Gangzi, let's talk about it first. If you win the game, you have to treat me to a big meal."

"No problem, as long as you win Xinxing Town, you can choose any restaurant in the city!"

"It's still like a human saying."

"Okay, take a good rest tonight and recharge your batteries. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

After hanging up the phone, the village head, Yang Shouwang, hadn't left yet. He was looking at Wang Tianhui eagerly, and had a lot to ask.

"Tianhui, I think you are quite busy, did you not delay your business?"

Wang Tianhui waved his hands again and again, "No, no, it's just that my classmates invited me to play in the city tomorrow, village chief, is there anything else you can do?"

"I still want to ask about the equipment, can we reduce the expenditure a little? You know the situation in our village, it mainly relies on the fishing industry for income. The fishing industry has been in recession these years, and every family can't afford any money. Three to five thousand There are too many, can you see if the equipment can be reduced to less than a thousand yuan?"

Wang Tianhui shook his head with a smile, "Deep diving is very dangerous. The more than 3000 I said is life-saving equipment. You can't miss any of them. Village chief, tell me, we can't lose our lives for money, right?"

"Yes, yes, what you said is reasonable, but there is too much money, and no one dares to take so much money to take risks. It would be great if someone bought it first, so that everyone can see the effect."

Wang Tianhui thought so too. In this village where mobile phones are not even popular, it is difficult to ask villagers to pay for a set of underwater equipment that they don't even know what it is.

Seeing Yang Shouwang smoking a cigarette with a gloomy face, Wang Tianhui felt a little uncomfortable.

When he was in college, if he hadn't been supported by the old village head all the way, he might have gone to the brick factory in the town to work as a coolie like most young people in the village.

His father often taught him that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. Now the old village chief is eager to change the poverty situation in the fishing village and retain the lost young people. Perhaps the only one who can help him is himself.

"Hey, the old Wu family's two brothers are going north to work again today. Five young people have already left this month. If this continues, our village will be over."

Yang Shouwang looked up at the moon that had just risen, kept smoking and muttering to himself.

"village head."

"Oh, Tianhui, I'm fine, you go home quickly, your mother should be in a hurry."

"When I come back from the city tomorrow afternoon, I will get a set of equipment to go to sea. You can inform some interested villagers to come and see. If anyone wants it, I can buy it for them."

Hearing Wang Tianhui's words, the wrinkled creases on Yang Shouwang's face immediately unfolded, and he grabbed his hand.

"Tianhui, that would be great! I knew that you, kid, can't go wrong. You didn't go to college in vain, and you will definitely lead the villagers to get rich. Then I'll leave everything to you!"

"Village chief, don't be so polite. I planned to buy it. Not only me, but my uncle and third uncle will also buy it. Buy it early and make money."

"That's right! Then I'll go door-to-door to notify now!"

Yang Shouwang was happy now, his legs and feet became more agile, and he happily walked around the streets.

Wang Tianhui came home with the seafood, and from afar, he saw his mother eagerly pacing back and forth at the door of the house, still muttering non-stop.

"This brat, it's getting dark, where did he go?"

"He's quite a grown man, and he's not in good shape. It looks like he should get married as soon as possible, so that a wife can take care of him!"

Wang Tianhui was speechless for a moment, his mother really insisted on getting married.

"Mom, I'm back."

Xu Huifang, who was still cursing just now, saw her son come back, and rushed to meet her son.

"Where did this go? You didn't eat much at noon, are you starving now?"

My mother is still my mother, with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart.

"I went to sea with Xiaozhu, Mom, do you think I got something good?"

Xu Huifang squinted her eyes and looked at it for a long time. The bucket was completely dark, and she didn't see why. When she touched the bamboo basket on Wang Tianhui's back, the swimming crab king was frightened and swung its big pliers to prop it up. Big group, startled her.

"Oh my mother, you brat, what are you doing after catching a turtle?"

When Wang Tianhui heard it, he burst into laughter.

"Are you happy? Go home quickly, Mom will cook for you, by the way, how is your relationship with Xiaozhu? Tell Mom..."

The two entered the house while talking, and Wang Tianhui poured out the seafood and put them in buckets at home, and raised the grouper separately.

"Tianhui, what do we two have for dinner tonight?"

Xu Huifang yelled in the kitchen, and seeing that Wang Tianhui didn't answer, she came to the main room.

"Have you copied the house of the Sea Dragon King? These guys are so big, are they all fine?"

Wang Tianhui was amused by his mother's simple joke, "I dived into the sea today to pick it up, why don't I pick the big one?"

"It's terrible, your father has been fishing all his life, and I have never seen him catch such a big crab, son, you are really good at it!" Xu Huifang looked at these big ones with a proud face, and they could sell them for a lot of money. up.

"What is this? There is also a big lobster that weighs eight or nine catties. I gave it to Xiaozhu."

"Eight...eight or nine catties?" Xu Huifang has been frugal all her life, and she also knows how much eight or nine catties of lobster can sell, so she feels a little distressed.

But after thinking about it, the tofu Xishi must be happy to give it to his daughter-in-law. In this way, the son's marriage will be much easier to talk about.

No loss!

"Okay! Son, you did a great job! Mom will cook two scallops for you!"

Xu Huifang smiled and was about to pick up two scallops from the bucket. Among these things, the value of scallops was a little lower.

"Isn't that right, Mom? I picked up so many good things today, and I won the favor of your daughter-in-law. You sent your son away with two scallops? Let's eat this!"

Wang Tianhui directly arrested the swimming crab king.

"No, no, no! This can't be sold for a thousand or eight hundred? I can't bear to eat it!" Xu Huifang's stingy energy came up again.

"Mom, I told Xiaozhu that this lobster was injured in a fight with crabs and was about to die. They just accepted it. If she knew that I didn't eat it and sold it for money, then she must ask me to give money. Then How shameless am I? Besides, she has no money."

"Ah, this..." Xu Huifang was a little embarrassed.

"What's more, these scallops are all reserved by netizens. We can't move, so let's eat this!"

Xu Huifang looked troubled, and asked Wang Tianhui again: "Is this crab really going to die?"

"Well, I can't survive tonight. If I don't eat it, it will stink tomorrow. I can't sell it for money." Wang Tianhui lied to his mother.

My mother has worked hard all her life, so I have to let her eat something good.

At this time, the voices of the uncle and the third uncle sounded outside the door.

"Is Tianhui back?"
